	Objectives
	KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: THE COURSE AIMS AT OFFERING, IN A CONCISE AND APPLICATION-DRIVEN MANNER, KNOWLEDGE OF THE BASIC NOTIONS OF CALCULUS AND LINEAR ALGEBRA, AND GET STUDENTS ACQUAINT WITH MATHEMATICAL REASONING. APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: THE MAIN AIM IS TO MAKE STUDENTS ABLE TO GRASP THEORETICAL KNOWLEDGE AND USE IT IN APPLICATIVE SETTINGS: STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO SOLVE EXERCISES ON ELEMENTARY STUDY OF FUNCTIONS AND LINEAR ALGEBRA, WITH FOCUS ON ACTIVE LEARNING. THE COURSE WILL AIM AT MAKING STUDENTS ABLE TO FORMALIZE CONCEPTS IN A PRECISE MANNER AND USE THE KNOWLEDGE FOR PROBLEM SOLVING AND PROBLEM POSING: STUDENTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO LEARN IN A CRITICAL WAY.
